Jail Weddings: Their New Video, and Tour Dates

In the Village Voice's most recent Pazz and Jop critics poll, I called local psychedelic garage act Jail Weddings' latest album Meltdown: A Declaration of Unpopular Emotionthe best album of 2013.

Well, now it's 2014 and the fun - if you can call such heavy music fun - hasn't stopped. Below, West Coast Sound is proud to premiere the band's latest video off of that album, "Summer Fades." We've also got their tour schedule, which kicks off tonight with a show at the Troubadour.
